Forward-Looking Statements and Business Risks

This report, including information incorporated by reference, contains, and future filings by Canandaigua National Corporation on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and future oral and written statements, press releases, and letters to shareholders by Canandaigua National Corporation and its management may contain, certain "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used or incorporated by reference in the Company's disclosures and documents, the words "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "estimate," "expect," "foresee," "project," "target," "goal," "budget" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks discussed within this document. These forward looking statements are based on currently available financial, economic, and competitive data and management's views and assumptions regarding future events. These forward looking statements are inherently uncertain, so should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected, projected, targeted, or budgeted. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein. We must caution readers not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements.

Throughout this and other documents we prepare from time to time, we include our predictions (or "forward-looking information"). Of course, any discussion of the future is subject to many risks and uncertainties, and, while we seek ways to manage these risks and develop programs to control those we can, we ultimately cannot predict the future. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by our forward-looking statements. A number of these most significant risks and uncertainties affecting our business are enumerated below.

- The strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economy in particular; general economic conditions, either nationally or locally could be less favorable than expected, resulting in, for example, a deterioration in credit quality of assets;

- The effects of and changes in United States trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including and most importantly the interest rate policy of the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board, which can have an immediate and significant impact on earnings;

- The impact of changes in laws and regulations governing financial services and public companies, including laws and regulations concerning taxes, accounting, auditing and reporting standards;

- The impact of technological changes;

- The development of new products, their competitiveness and their acceptance by customers;

- Changes in commercial and consumer spending and saving habits;

- The commission of fraud by employees, customers and non-customers against the Company; and

- Our success in managing these risks.

CANANDAIGUA NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1)   Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Such principles are applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in the December 31, 2004, Form 10-K Report of the Company filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Management has prepared the financial information included herein without audit by an independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Amounts in prior periods' condensed consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year's presentation.

(2)   Stock Option Plan

 

The Company's incentive stock option program for employees authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 48,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2004, all 48,000 options available have been granted. In 2004, the Board of Directors granted 6,567 non-qualified options to management under the Company's incentive compensation plan. The options were granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the common stock on the grant date. The options are exercisable at varying times up to 25 years. The options are fully vested.

 

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plan, and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed-award stock options in the condensed consolidated statement of income. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant date of the stock options using valuation models consistent with the approach of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share for the year-to-date period in 2004 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (net income in thousands):

The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2004 was $67.50. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Grant year

            

2004

         

Dividend yield

 

2.03%

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

4.27%

 

Life

 

10.6 years

 

Volatility

 

13.95%

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, effective in 2006, will change the accounting for stock options. Management has not quantified the impact of the change on the Company's financial condition or operations.

 

(3)   Dividends Per Share

 

The Company declared a semi-annual $3.20 per share dividend on common stock on July 13, 2005, to shareholders of record July 13, 2005, which was paid on August 1, 2005. The Company also declared a semi-annual $2.85 per share dividend on common stock on January 12, 2005, to shareholders of record January 12, 2005, which was paid on February 1, 2005.

(4)   Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the maximum dilutive effect of stock issueable upon conversion of stock options, net of tax benefits. Calculations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, and 2004 follow (dollars in thousands, except share data):

(5)   Segment Information

 

The Company is organized into two reportable segments: (a) the Company and its banking subsidiaries (Bank), and (b) CNB Mortgage Company (CNBM). These have been segmented due to differences in their distribution channels, the volatility of their earnings, and internal and external financial reporting requirements. The interim period reportable segment information for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 follow. (dollars in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following is our discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. This discussion and analysis supplements our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 
 

Critical Accounting Estimate

 

We are instructed, pursuant to SEC guidance, to evaluate and disclose those accounting estimates that we judge to be critical - those most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and that require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. We consider the Allowance for Loan Losses (Allowance) as critical given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to reflect credit losses in the portfolio. There has been no change in our methodology for estimating the Allowance, which is fully described within the 2004 Annual Report.

 
 

Overview

 

We are pleased to report net income grew 16.1% year over year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 net income was $5.7 million, up $0.8 million over 2004, with revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) growth approximately twice that of operating expense growth. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, net income was $3.0 million or $5.99 per diluted share versus $2.7 million or $5.38 per diluted share. The results for the quarter were $0.3 million or 9.9% higher than the same quarter in 2004.

 

During the first six months of 2005, the balance sheet grew $40.8 million or 4.2%, from growth in both investment and loans, funded mostly by liquidating fed funds sold and borrowing additional funds. Total deposits balances changed little, but the mix continued to trend away from savings and money market to demand and time accounts.

 

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2005

 

At June 30, 2005, total assets of the Company were $1,016 million, up $18.0 million or 1.8% from $997.5 million at March 31, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents (cash, balances with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold) decreased $19.4 million to $37.3 million, as a result of security purchases and loan originations. The securities portfolios increased $1.8 million in total, with the growth in the available-for-sale category. This category is used to manage current liquidity and short to medium term interest rate risk. The market value of securities available-for-sale improved significantly in reaction to a decline in the long end of the Treasury yield curve. Management has identified no evidence of other-than-temporary impairment in the portfolio. Net loans increased $36.3 million to $729.7 million. Portfolios showing the greatest increase were commercial and consumer-automobile indirect, both of which management expects will continue to grow through the remainder of 2005, but likely not at the pace seen in the first half of 2005. If loan demand is not as robust as the growth in deposits, securities may be purchased, federal funds may be sold or borrowings reduced.

 

Total deposits at June 30, 2005, were $880.3 million and were down $19.7 million from March 31, 2005. Consumer and business deposits increased $28.3 million or 3.9%, while municipalities' total deposit balance (collateralized by securities) decreased approximately $48.0 million or 24.9% for the quarter. As we indicated in the first quarter, these deposits were expected to decline, but increase again in September and October as state aid payments and tax collections resume. Overall deposit growth during the quarter continued to come in core interest-bearing accounts (checking and savings) and time deposits. Money market accounts, where the bulk of the municipalities funds are deposited, declined. These trends are consistent with our expectation that as interest rates rise, customer balances will migrate to time deposits.

 

With loan and investment growth exceeding overall deposit growth, we liquidated our $28.7 million fed funds sold position from March 31, 2005 and using our lines of credit, borrowed an additional $34.2 million in overnight funds from both the FHLB and FRB. Please see "Liquidity" for more discussion.

 

Overall balance sheet growth led to a net interest income improvement of $0.9 million or 10.6% for the second quarter over the same quarter in 2004. The higher volume of interest-earning assets was accompanied by an increase in their yield, and the higher volume of interest-bearing liabilities also was accompanied by an increase in their costs. The growth in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had a $1.1 million positive impact on net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, while the decrease in spread had $0.2 million negative impact on net interest income as compared to the same quarter of 2004.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, average interest-earning assets increased $71.6 million to $931.7 million from $860.1 million for the 2004 quarter. The tax-equivalent yields on these assets were 5.92% and 5.37%, respectively, with the increase resulting from the increase in market interest rates, particularly "prime." For the same periods, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $40.8 million to $777.7 million from $736.9 million. The costs of these liabilities were 1.73% and 1.15%, respectively, also reflecting and increasing interest rate environment.

 

The net effect of these yield and cost increases was a decreased spread of 3 basis points, but an increased net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets) of 9 basis points to 4.48% (net interest margin was 4.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2004). The difference between spread and margin reflects the contribution of non-interest-bearing deposits - 29 basis points in 2005 and 17 basis points in 2004 - which improved in 2005 due to the rising rate environment. A higher proportion of non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits is beneficial in higher rate conditions.

 

Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, improved 4.9% to $3.4 million from $3.2 million in 2004, driven mainly by an increase in trust and investment services income. Service charges on deposit accounts increased modestly on growth in electronic banking services, mostly debit card transactions. Trust and investment services income increased $0.1 million for the quarter mostly as a result of growth in total assets under management. Consistent with expected trends, net gain on the sale of mortgage loans declined from 2004 and was $0.2 million in 2005 versus $0.4 million then, caused by a decrease in the total volume of closed loans. All other sources of income rose on growth in overall business volume.

 

Operating expenses increased 5.8% or $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, to $8.5 million versus $8.0 million for the 2004 quarter. Most of the increase came in two line items: (1) marketing and public relations associated with our trust and investment services advertising efforts and (2) other operating expenses, driven by higher third-party services associated with price increases and a higher volume of business.

 

The quarterly effective tax rate was 28.8% in 2005 and 24.7% in 2004. The increase in the effective rate is attributable to an increase in the federal tax bracket due to our higher overall taxable income and an overall higher proportion of taxable income to total income.

 

Six months ended June 30, 2005

At June 30, 2005, total assets of the Company were up $40.8 million or 4.2% from December 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents (cash, balances with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold) decreased as a result of security purchases and loan originations. Total deposits at June 30, 2005, were up 0.4% with growth in consumer and commercial deposits offset by seasonal municipal deposit outflows.

 

Net interest income improved 9.4% for the six-month period in 2005 over the same period in 2004. The decrease in net interest spread, caused by rates on interest bearing liabilities rising faster than yields on interest earning assets, was more than offset by the growth in the average balance of these liabilities and assets. Summary tax-equivalent net interest income information for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 follows.

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, increased 7.9% to $6.5 million from $6.1 million in 2004. Service charges on deposit accounts increased due to growth in electronic banking services, mostly debit card transactions. Trust and investment services income grew $0.4 million for the period as a result of improvement in market value of assets under administration and growth in estate management fees, the latter of which can fluctuate significantly from year to year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the market value of assets under management increased $53.5 million (6.9%) over the same period in 2004, while the book value, our measure of customer growth, increased $45.5 million (6.8%) during the same period.

 

As anticipated, net gain on the sale of mortgage loans declined from 2004 and was $0.4 million in 2005 versus $0.6 million then, caused by a 20.2% decline in the total volume of closed loans and those sold to third parties. (See table below) However, we retained a higher percentage of originations in our portfolio, the income from which is reflected in interest income this period and into the future.

Operating expenses increased 5.0% or $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, over the same period in 2004. The reasons are the same as those discussed above for the three-month periods.

 

The Company's effective tax rate for the year to date in 2005 increased to 28.3% from 25.7% in 2004 due to comparatively higher overall taxable income.

 

Liquidity

 

There has been no material change from December 31, 2004, in our available sources of wholesale liquidity from either the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, with approximately $134.0 million in total collateralized borrowing capacity.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we used $34.8 million in net cash and equivalents versus $41.3 million for the same period in 2004, with the change coming mainly from higher loan originations and securities purchases net of deposit and borrowing growth.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.4 million in 2005, versus $1.1 million in 2004. Both the largest source and use of operating cash in 2005 and 2004 were loans held for sale. Activity in 2005 was significantly lower than in 2004 due to lower mortgage refinancing activity. Excluding the effects of loans held for sale, operating activities provided $6.5 million of cash for the six months of 2005 versus $4.6 million for the same period of 2004.

 

Cash used by investing activities was $74.3 million in 2005 versus $58.5 million in 2004. Securities purchases and loan originations were substantially higher in 2005 than in 2004, as we invested cash inflows from deposits and borrowings in these higher yield assets.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $35.0 million in 2005 versus $16.1 million in 2004. Deposit activity was a main contributor in both years, but we also utilized overnight borrowings in 2005.

 

For the remainder of 2005, cash for growth is expected to come primarily from customer sources and overnight borrowings. Customer deposit growth is mainly expected to come from Monroe County sources. In addition, we have raised approximately $10.0 million in nationally marketed time deposits in July 2005. We may consider raising additional funds in this manner before year end to fund loan growth to the extent local deposit growth is insufficient.

 

Capital Resources

 

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, as of June 30, 2005, the Company and Bank are categorized as "well-capitalized." This is unchanged from December 31, 2004, and management anticipates no change in this classification for the foreseeable future.

The provision for loan losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, was 3.3% lower than the same period in 2004, mainly due to lower net charge-offs. The overall allowance, funded by the provision for loan losses, has increased in connection with the total loan portfolio. As discussed more fully in the Annual Report, we determine the amount necessary in the allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors. Based on our current assessment of the loan portfolio, we believe the amount of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2005, is adequate at $7.7 million.

Though we had experienced an improvement in credit risk, with impaired loans declining throughout 2004, this trend reversed in 2005, when one $2.8 million commercial real-estate secured borrowing relationship was deemed by us to be impaired, as a result of its past-due payment status, and placed on non-accrual. We believe we will fully recover all amounts owed from the borrower. Because of this increase, impaired loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding increased to 1.47% at June 30, 2005, versus 1.21% at December 31, 2004. Interest income recognized on impaired loans during the periods was not material.

Total non-performing loans increased $2.6 million to $11.2 million at June 30, 2005, from $8.6 million at December 31, 2004, and was due to the relationship discussed in "Impaired Loans" above.

 

At June 30, 2005, other real estate owned consisted of one residential property totaling $0.1 million. We are actively pursuing its liquidation.

Contractual obligations

 

Less material, but a part of our ongoing operations, and expected to be funded through normal operations, are liquidity uses such as lease obligations, long-term debt repayments, and other funding commitments. There has been no material change from the information we presented in our Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

As we discussed in the 2004 Annual Report, in December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The FASB's intent in issuing this statement was to provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Though we were originally required to apply Statement 123r in our 2005 third quarter, the Securities and Exchange Commission has changed the effective date, meaning we will implement the statement's provisions in the first quarter of 2006. Statement 123r covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, which include our stock option plan, phantom stock awards (PSA), and stock appreciation rights (SAR). It is a complicated statement, and we are still evaluating the impact implementation will have on our financial statements.

 

In June 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, replacing two previously issued financial accounting statements. The purpose of the statement is to enhance consistency between reporting periods. The statement applies to voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Statement 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Previously, most such changes resulted in a cumulative adjustment in the period of change. The Statement is effective for our 2006 fiscal year, with earlier application permitted. Since we have no current changes in accounting principle, nor are any contemplated, we do not believe this statement will impact the Company in the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Asset / Liability Management Review

 

We measure net interest income at risk by estimating the changes in net interest income resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in interest rates of plus or minus 200 basis points over a twelve-month period. This provides a basis or benchmark for our Asset/Liability Committee to manage our interest rate risk profile. There have been no significant changes in market risk or interest rate gap from those disclosed in our 2004 Annual Report.

 

In our annual report for 2004, we predicted market interest rates for 2005 to rise up to 100 basis points from their year-end values on the short end of the treasury yield curve (under 3 years) and 50 to 75 basis points at the middle- and long-end of the curve. Since December 2004, the monthly average two-year constant maturity treasury has risen nearly 65 basis points on average and the ten-year has fallen nearly 25 basis points following changes in our overall economy. The Federal Open Market Committee (FMOC) has raised the target fed funds rate (interbank overnight borrowings) 100 basis points since the beginning of the year with the latest 25 basis point rise occurring on June 30, 2005. This helps explain the rise in short term rates. However, the decline in long term rates was unexpected, and best explained by investors viewing long term inflation as stable and manageable. Because our balance sheet generally has a short repricing period (under three years), we are more impacted by the short end of the treasury curve than the long end. This has been reflected in our net interest income as shown in the tables and discussed in the narratives above.

 

Our asset yields should continue to rise in 2005 due to the reinvestment of maturing loans and principal repayments as well as new originations at generally higher rates than in 2004. We also believe the FMOC will continue to raise the target federal funds rate. Notwithstanding increasing yields, liability costs will rise faster and greater than assets yields, as we experienced in the first half of the year. This will continue to compress both net interest spread and may compress net interest margin. To offset this compression and grow profitability, earning asset balances will need to grow faster than interest-bearing liabilities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2005, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

    Shareholder Communication

 

The following letter from Mr. George W. Hamlin, President and Chief Executive Officer was sent to shareholders receiving our August 1, 2005, dividend.

 

August 1, 2005

To Our Shareholders:

     I am pleased to report Earnings Per Share of $11.54 compared with $9.81 for last year, for a year-over-year increase of 17.5%. These results at the "half-way point" are ahead of our expectations, mainly on higher revenues derived from new loan generation which resulted in a higher net interest income. This was further supplemented by increased income from estate administration fees occurring in the first quarter of the year. Notwithstanding that our non-performing loans have edged up a little, the charge-off of loans (net of recoveries) are half of what we expected over the first two quarters, leading to a substantially lower provision for loan loss expense. Since this performance is nicely ahead of schedule, we must be prepared for a more moderate pace for the second half of the year as we deal with the effects of slower growth of the economy and the trending up of interest on deposit rates.

     Since last summer, the assets of the Company have grown 9.7% reaching $1.015 billion for the first time. We had anticipated that occurring mid-2005 and had given some thought to how we might understand the meaning of reaching this milestone. I think it is best thought of as an index of the measure of our value to the community. Every non-public dollar, that is to say, consumer and business deposits exclusive of public funds of municipalities, is invested back into our community to underwrite personal, family and household consumption and projects, and to underwrite the development and growth of small businesses throughout the region which provides the economic base to support the quality of life we enjoy in this region. You may be interested to know that every public dollar on deposit must be collateralized by a limited list of securities, such as U.S. Government and municipal bonds, which means that public dollars are not invested in local loans as a matter of state policy.

     The fundamentals of the economy are very much in place, and the Federal Reserve began at the end of last summer to raise the Fed Funds rate by one-quarter point and has done so seven times since then. Because of the difference in timing of the change of rates on loans and deposits, the compression in the net interest margin and spreads continues as yields on assets continue their momentum to reprice downward over their typical re-pricing cycle of three years. This momentum continues as pressure is brought by the deposit markets to raise rates on liabilities as they come due - - a trend which we have anticipated for this year and have experienced pretty much on budget. Happily, our loan portfolios continue to enjoy good quality, compared to what a seasoned view might have expected for an economy in recovery.

     We have declared a dividend of $3.20 per share which amounts to a total dividend of $6.05 for this year compared with $5.30 paid last year for a 14.2% increase reflective of our continued growth and prospects. As I have mentioned in these spaces before, the accumulation of capital to support our continued growth is a major strategy for us that requires the appropriate balancing of retention of earnings and distribution of earnings. This has resulted in our Company" capital ratio reaching 7.25%, up nicely from 6.93% for this time last year, on the way to an ultimate goal of at least 7.5%. Payroll expense is controlled very closely within budget resulting in an improvement in our overall efficiency ratio which takes into account increased non-interest income with the vigilant control of containing overhead expense as we continue our growth.

     The growth of technology continues to be one of our advantages since it allows us access world-wide to customers who choose to continue to do business with our community bank. Along with this, comes the risk presented by criminal minds as far away as Russia who attempt to hack into electronic transfers that now represent the preferred method of consumers to pay for their goods and services. Indeed, more than 65% of our transactions are electronic in nature, and it is common for retail grocery stores to experience nearly half of their transactions to be initiated through plastic - - either credit or debit cards. Of course, this occasions a plethora of new rules and regulations to secure both the country and the financial system from disruption. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is responsible for monitoring, limiting and controlling money laundering operations which are seen to underwrite all kinds of criminal activity to include terrorism. As a result, there are many unfunded mandates that befall the payment system which is conducted primarily through commercial banks such as ours. Add to that the blight of "identity theft" which is accomplished by the unauthorized use of personal account information, identification numbers, and passwords which are illegally obtained and are indistinguishable from the authentic information because in electronic terms they are exactly the same. Fortunately for the consumer, this presents them with more nuisance than loss, since the banking industry is responsible to absorb the loss occasioned by such invasions. Although the consumer is considerably upset and displaced because of a perceived injury to their "credit rating" which is built upon the accurate reporting of their use of credit and the timely payment thereof, we view this as an opportunity for us as a community bank, since as long as you are known to us, you have no reason to fear that your access to credit will be disturbed in any way because of being victimized by Identity Theft. Moreover, our people are enormously helpful and reassuring to guide our customers who have been victimized through the process of squaring away the record and re-establishing their credit report.

     We look forward to sustained progress toward our goals to develop a Strategic Plan for the Year 2020 which both confirms and recognizes the positive performance of our Company while instituting our Plan for 2010 started nearly 10 years ago with 5 years yet to run and which established the architecture and the plan for what we have accomplished in the recent past. There are many new projects with which we have become involved and which show the potential of our market region.

     We are fortunate, of course, to continue to enjoy the positive performance of our stock value as well as the enthusiastic support of our staff. These talented individuals are responsible for the creation and delivery of the value proposition which continues to be the underlying reason for our sustained growth.


Very truly yours,

/s/ George W. Hamlin, IV
